Iam interested in one of these . Its the same as the 2.2 ,which looks very similar or the same as the suzuki 2.2. Finding info on 2 strokes isn't so easy now they are discontinued .
Only difference i can see is that it revs higher and costs about £150 more .

Why it costs so much more than the almost identical 2.2 i can't understand .

What iam thinkng is that because it produces the extra power by simply revving higher is it really any better ,
does anyone know if it actually turns a bigger prop or makes noticably more power at lower rpm.

Ian check out HERE they have a selection of 2 stroke Tohats at resonable price.

They have about the best price around £385 for a Tohatsu 3.5 . Same as merc etc exept its called a 3.5 because the power is measured at the prop instead of the power head.
Also called Bill Highamas they advertised "please call as price is too hot to list" yes it was but should have read too "high to list" They said not many 2 strokes left , I said is that why our are inflating the price ? they said yes they are selling at a premium . Robbin Ba***

Don't go for a Mariner/Mercury/Nissan 3.5, all are disguissed Tohatsu's. Get yorself a nice Toh 5.0, it's the same as the 4.0, but with bigger jets, more power. If you are going to invest on a new engine, then invest well, the power difference it's worth it. Tohatsu is still producing 2 stroke engines.

It's better to have more and don't need it than to have less and need it.

I agree with your logic but eveytime I go bigger the price doubles and the wieght increases . Smallest and lightest was the reason , so it is easy to lift inside the consul and onto the transom
